Panzer IV J, Kampfgruppe Peiper, Hassoumont, Belgium, Dec 1944

It's been a while since I've built an armor model, but I won this kit at a raffle so I decided to build it. It's an old kit from the 1990's, so not as detailed as the current state of the art. I added selected parts from the Eduard PE detail set along with some scratch built items (bolt heads, rivets, tow cable, hinges, etc.) to bring it up to snuff. The main build is complete and I've primed it with Mr. Primer Surfacer, which does a decent job with priming metal as well as plastic. Main painting is about to commence.

Awesome! Will be cool to see what you do with it 👍

Sebastian Meyner
I'm in as well 👍 It's an old ish, but still a lovely kit. Curious to see what you make out of it… surely something amazing 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good so far. 👍

Jim J
Thanks for the comments, Mates! Much appreciated. The main camo colors are now on. Spots next. Thanks for looking.

James C
Great job on the camo scheme, and nice colours as well 👍

Jim J
Thanks James. Much appreciated. I've added a few more photos showing the tank after adding the dots to the camo scheme and then after decals and some detail painting and chipping. Progress continues. Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques are more than welcome.

Panzer 631 is now complete. Weathering consisted of oil washes, colored pencils, sponge chipping and detail chipping using acrylics. I'm happy with the way this one turned out, even though it's an older kit. Thanks for stopping by. Comments and critiques are more than welcome.

Great work and ambiance photos 👍 as expected.
The only thing that strike me and imho I would point out, (don't know if it's finished?) it's the strange sagging on the tracks 🤔

James C
Very nicely done mate, the first 2 shots (with the backdrop) in particular look fantastic!👍

Neuling
I agree with Rui and James. Very appealing camouflage paintwork!

Sebastian Meyner
Stunning work Jim 👍 You should build more afv's 😉

Battle of the Bullge scenery, completely my taste... Very nive camo indeed!

Rui, James, Neuling, Sebastian and Jean-Michel -- Thank you very much for the encouraging comments. It was a fun build and I'm glad you like it.

Agree with everyone. The camo paintwork is lovely and nicely weathered.
